dspmqver (display version information)

Display IBM® MQ version and build information.

Purpose

Use the dspmqver command to display IBM MQ version and build information.

By default, the dspmqver command displays details of the installation from which it was invoked. A note is displayed if other installations exist; use the -i parameter to display their details.

Syntax

Optional parameters

-a

Display information about all fields and components.

When 32-bit support is missing from a 64-bit system, the dspmqver -a command might issue a message suggesting that the 32 bit version of GSKit is not installed. For more information, see the Command failure section of this topic.

-p Components

Display information for the components specified by component. Either a single component or multiple components can be specified. Enter either the value of a single component or the sum of the values of all the required components. Available components and related values follow:

Value	Description
1	IBM MQ server, or client.
2	IBM MQ classes for Java.
4	IBM MQ classes for Java Message Service.
8	WebScale Distribution Hub
16 ¹	IBM MQ custom channel for Windows Communication Foundation
32	IBM Message Service Client for .NET (XMS .NET) - this component is only available on Windows
64	GSKit , or for HP Integrity NonStop Server, SSL When 32-bit support is missing from a 64-bit system, the dspmqver -p 64 command might issue a message suggesting that the 32 bit version of GSKit is not installed. For more information, see the Command failure section of this topic.
128	IBM MQ Advanced Message Security
256	IBM MQ AMQP Service

Examples

The following command displays IBM MQ version and build information, using the default settings for -p and -f:


dspmqver

The following command displays information about all fields and components and is the equivalent of specifying dspmqver -p 63 -f 4095:


dspmqver -a

The following command displays version and build information for the IBM MQ classes for Java:


dspmqver -p 2

The following command displays the Common Services for Java Platform Standard Edition, IBM MQ, Java Message Service Client, and IBM MQ classes for Java Message Service:


dspmqver -p 4

The following command displays the build level of the WebScale Distribution Hub:


dspmqver -p 8 -f 4

The following command displays the name and build type for IBM MQ custom channel for Windows Communication Foundation:


dspmqver -p 16 -f 9

The following command displays information about installations of IBM MQ.


dspmqver -i

Command Failure

Failure when 32-bit support is missing from a 64-bit system

In IBM MQ Versions 8.0, 9.0 and 9.1, the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of IBM Global Security Kit for IBM MQ (GSKit) are bundled together. When you run dspmqver -a or dspmqver -p 64, the command checks both versions of GSKit. When 32-bit support is missing from a 64-bit system, you might get a message suggesting that the 32-bit version of GSKit is not installed. For information about 64-bit Linux® distributions that might no longer support 32-bit applications by default, and guidance on manually loading the 32-bit libraries for these platforms, see Hardware and software requirements on UNIX and Linux systems.

Failure when viewing the IBM MQ classes for Java

The dspmqver command can fail if you try to view version or build information for the IBM MQ classes for Java, and you have not correctly configured your environment. For example, you might see the following message:


[root@blade883 ~]# dspmqver -p2
AMQ8351: IBM MQ Java environment has not been configured correctly.

To resolve this problem, ensure that the path is configured to include the JRE, and that the correct environment variables are set; for example, by using setjmsenv or setjmsenv64. For example:


export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mqm/java/jre/bin
cd /opt/mqm/java/bin/
. ./setjmsenv64

[root@blade883 bin]# dspmqver -p2
Name:       WebSphere MQ classes for Java
Version:    8.0.0.0
Level:      k000-L110908
Build Type: Production

[UNIX] Note that the setjmsenv and setjmsenv64 commands apply to UNIX platforms only.

[Windows] On Windows you need to issue the setmqenv command to resolve error AMQ8351.
